Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 521 The handsome man is smart
"The guilty will see the commander-in-chief!"

Seeing Wu Xiong, Lin Kuohai immediately knelt down and said, "The general's incompetent command caused the vanguard army to collapse. Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief!"

Looking at him, Wu Xiong squinted his eyes and said nothing, as if he wanted to see something from Lin Kuohai.

After a while, Wu Xiong said: "Get up, General Lin."

"Thank you sir."

"Where did General Lin come back from? Why didn't I see General Lin when I led people to support the vanguard army before?"

Wu Xiong asked. Previously, he led people to help the vanguard army, but by the time he arrived, the battle was over.

Without Lin Kuohai at the scene, there were only two possibilities.

One is that he was captured, and the other is that he escaped.

For a battlefield veteran like Lin Kuohai, Wu Xiong did not believe that the opponent would escape from the battlefield.

Lin Kuohai smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to deceive the commander. The crime will come from Feiyan Pass."

"Feiyan Pass?"

Wu Xiong was not surprised, "Escaped?"

Lin Kuohai hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Zhao Kang let me come back."

Wu Xiong was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Lin Kuohai to answer him like this. He was originally thinking about what excuse Lin Kuohai would make up.

I didn't expect the other party to be so direct.

"You mean, Zhao Kang captured you and then released you?" Wu Xiong confirmed again.

Lin Kuohai smiled bitterly and nodded: "The Marshal is right."

"This is really weird."

Wu Xiong's eyes were a little strange, and the eyes of the surrounding generals were also a little strange.

In a battlefield confrontation, both sides are mortal enemies.

There is no reason to capture an enemy general and then kindly put him back.

Everyone murmured in their hearts and thought of a possibility.

Is this guy coming back to be an undercover agent?

Maybe we have already made an agreement with the Qian people!

Lin Kuohai naturally knew that he would be suspected when he came back, so he quickly reported to Wu Xiong what happened at Feiyan Pass.

Wu Xiong became even more confused and looked at Lin Kuohai: "You mean, after Zhao Kang captured you, he killed Zhou Quan and others but spared you? And he also showed you their weapons? "

Damn it, you are so unprofessional as an undercover agent!You can say such things!
Lin Kuohai responded: "Such a commander-in-chief. The swords used by Qianjun are all made of superior craftsmanship. Our army must pay special attention to them when fighting against them in the future."

Lin Kuohai thought that everything would be fine if he told the truth honestly, but he never expected that Wu Xiong would not eliminate his doubts about him.

After hearing what he said, he didn't say anything. He just nodded: "I understand, Commander. Okay, General Lin, go down and rest first."

Lin Kuohai wanted to say something more, but Wu Xiong had already turned around and entered the military tent, looking at the strange looks of the surrounding generals at him.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, damn Zhao Kang, he must have let me come here on purpose.

It seems that finding a way to clear yourself of the suspicion will not happen overnight, and you can only wait for the opportunity.

Thinking about it, Lin Kuohai left without too much anger in his heart.

I was completely loyal to Dazhou, and did not reveal any military information, and even brought back news about the Qian Kingdom.The one above is worthy of heaven, the one below is worthy of earth, and one is worthy of one's heart.

Nothing to be angry about.

He thought so, but others didn't think so.

In the military tent, Wu Xiong's eyebrows were furrowed, and it was clear that he was filled with sorrow in his heart.

The deputy general on the side saw this and walked up: "Commander, Lin Kuohai is afraid..."

He didn't finish his words, but Wu Xiong could hear what he meant: "Are you saying that Lin Kuohai has rebelled?"

The lieutenant general said hurriedly: "Think about it, Commander, how can there be any theory of capturing an enemy general and releasing him back when the two armies are fighting against each other? Moreover, Zhou Quan and the others were all killed, but Lin Kuohai was the only one who was released. Doesn't this explain the problem? ?”

"Then Zhao Kang must be thinking that Lin Kuohai was the vanguard general before. You can't help but entrust him with important tasks after he is replaced as commander. When Lin Kuohai rebels, our army will be doomed!"

Listening to the deputy general's analysis, Wu Xiong nodded subconsciously: "What you said makes sense. You must be careful when dealing with Lin Kuohai."

After thinking about it, Wu Xiong felt that something was wrong: "No, if Lin Kuohai rebelled, he could just make up a random reason why he would say that Zhao Kang personally let him back and brought back news about the country of Qian. This is a bit Doesn’t it make sense?”

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and felt that what his commander said made sense: "Yes, what on earth do these two people think?"

But soon the lieutenant general responded: "I understand, Commander!"

Wu Xiong looked at him in surprise: "What do you understand?"

The deputy general said angrily: "Zhao Kang's insidious intentions are so cunning. He must have thought that if Lin Kuohai said that he had escaped, Marshal, you would not believe it. After all, this is impossible. occur."

"In this case, it's better to use the trick and tell us directly that it was Zhao Kang who let him come back. This will also dispel our suspicions."

Wu Xiong thought for a while and nodded lightly: "It seems that this is really the case. I thought this person named Zhao was some kind of righteous man."

It would be too suspicious if Lin Kuohai said that he came back from Feiyan Pass.

The deputy general said again: "It's hard to guard against the real and the fake. This Zhao Kang is really treacherous. Marshal, you can't fall into his scheme. I heard that Horne fought against him last time."

"This idiot wrote a letter inviting Horn and Yan Wenyuan to fight him head-on. As a result, Horn was deceived by him and went there stupidly, letting this grandson poison and kill thousands of troops."

"There are various signs that this Zhao Kang is a despicable and shameless villain, and he will use some despicable methods!"

Listening to the deputy general's analysis, Wu Xiong felt more and more that the truth might be what he said.

"I understand, Zhao Kang and Lin Kuohai must have made up lies that we won't believe, so we might as well admit it openly."

"After we get rid of our doubts about Lin Kuohai, they can trick us. He is indeed a despicable and shameless villain."

The deputy general nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, it must be like this."

Wu Xiong snorted coldly, with a disdainful look on his face: "What a good Zhao Kang, do you think that I will be fooled by such a child's trick? It is simply wishful thinking. If you can do this, I can also use the trick to see who is the better one!"

"You are handsome and wise."

The deputy general seized the opportunity to flatter him: "Then what should we do next?"

Wu Xiong chuckled: "Didn't Zhao Kang want to cooperate with Lin Kuohai inside and outside? Then let's play a trick..."

The deputy general nodded repeatedly as he listened: "Commander is brilliant!"

Zhao Kang, who was far away in Feiyan Pass, sneezed countless times that day.

Her Majesty the Empress on the side asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"No, let's continue talking." Zhao Kang said, rubbing his nose.
